Following the recent Appellate Court decision in the case of New Jersey Land Title Association v. Dana Rone, County
Register of the County of Essex (Dkt. No. A-5028-16T1),
the e-recording convenience fee will be suspended, effective April 1, 2019, until further notice.

This web-site is enabled to support Passaic County for recording of all
documents regarding real property with Passaic County. All you need is a computer
and an internet connection. The ultimate goal is to allow total electronic
recording of real property. There are several Levels associated with the
launch of the Service. These include:

Level I allows the submitter to create an electronic cover page
(Document Summary Sheet) which is then attached to the original document
and submitted for recording. After the document is received by the County
Clerk’s office, recording and indexing occurs almost immediately and the
recording information is automatically available here on this site. The
documents are then scanned and verified and returned to the sender within
days.

Level II will include a scanned image of the document, supplied by the
sender, along with the Document Summary Sheet. Recording & indexing will
take place as usual and the recorded image is returned to sender with
all recording information electronically stamped on it. All information
can be tracked on this web-site.

As we continue to progress, Level III will be true electronic recordation
for discharge of mortgages and certain other documents. Our goal is
to provide the best possible service to submitters in Passaic County
and to all the people of New Jersey to make the recording process as
timely and efficient as possible.
